Subject: $foo in probe predicates

Pass 2: analysis failed. Try again with another '--vp 01' option.
-bash-3.2$
AFAICT this makes it impossible to do:
probe foo.bar = kernel.function("blah") if ($arg == 1) { argstr=... }
probe foo.baz = kernel.function("blah") if ($arg == 2) { argstr=... }
and I don't know how else I could get the same effect. That is, so:
probe foo.bar { print... }
does not print on $arg!=1 cases, with the knowedlge about $arg and its
values being hidden in the tapset.
Thanks,
Roland
